Untitled - a short story
How do we decide what is art and what isn't? Two young boys, bored with their visit to a gallery, unwittingly become the subject of such judgement.



Ariel  - This poem won Newcastle Theatre Royal's Creative Writing Competition 2011
Throughout Shakepeare's 'The Tempest', Prospero promises his trusty servant Ariel his liberty. This poem follows Ariel on his first day of freedom, as he makes a journey which will have a lasting impact on English literature.

Eclipse - At lunchtime on 29th March, 2006, hundreds of people witnessed a total eclipse of the sun from a beach in Turkey. Sophie wrote this poem on how it felt to be there.

Light Dancing on Water - Water flows from the lion's mouth spout in the conservatory at Wallington, Northumberland, and sparks a childhood memory in this evocative poem.
